Music for Dementia urges young people to help bridge the digital divide after speaking to 1000 carers of people with dementia for its new report, The Music Sounds Better With You, released during World Alzheimer’s Month.
The report provides a glimpse into the carer experience of using music and technology. It revealed that almost half (47%) felt that music can help reached a loved one and turn a day around.
But while 80% of care givers are using music as a tool to support their dementia care, only 61% feel very confident using technology, leaving 39% who may not be able benefit from streaming services that require technology such as Spotify or web-based technologies such as m4d Radio and Music Can.
